| Current law will permit an annexation through the referendum method if the voters in the area to be annexed approve by a majority vote. This legislation requires both a majority vote by those in the area to be annexed as well as those in the existing municipality seeking the annexation. Failure to secure a majority vote in either area requires a two-year waiting period before the annexation can be attempted again. |

House Committee Favorably Reported By Substitute |

| The current House substitute to this bill (LC 43 0300S) changes the definition of "homestead," so that for purposes of ownership, it will include a married couple regardless of which spouse is named as holder of the actual title. The bill is contingent on approval in a statewide vote. In addition, the bill now contains a revision to the definition of 'disabled veteran' for purposes of the disabled veterans homestead exemption. |
